Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on Friday night and stay in bed until Sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had and living not for reality
[Verse 2]
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Just my imagination, it was
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Just my imagination, it was
[Verse 3]
That was the time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Never be said that I'd be unstable
[Verse 4]
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Just my imagination, it was
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Just my imagination, it was
[Verse 5]
There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on Friday night and stay in bed until Sunday
We'll always be this free
We will be living for the love we have and living not for reality
[Verse 6]
It's not my imagination
It's not my imagination
It's not my imagination, it was
Not my imagination
Not my imagination
Not my imagination, it was
[Verse 7]
Not my, not my, not my
Not my, not my, not my
Not my, not my
[Verse 8]
Not my, not my, not my
Not my, not my, not my
Not my, not my
[Verse 9]
La la la...
[Verse 10]
(My imagination, my imagination)
Not my imagination
Not my imagination
Not my imagination
Not my imagination
